High Protein Chia Seed Yogurt
This is by far one of the easiest foods to meal prep and safe to say, if you’re not a cook you really cannot mess this up. One of my favorite ways to get easy high protein in while I’m at work is chia seed yogurt. The high protein content keeps me more full longer and it’s SO easy to make. I love that this recipe can easily be made to be plant based and still have high protein content. Without further ado, here is my chia seed yogurt that I eat almost every time I’m working a 12 hour shift.
ingredients//
4 big spoonfuls greek yogurt (plain)
protein powder (my tried and true --- gets bonus points for me because it has collagen and high protein)
2 tbsp chia seeds
2 tbsp hemp seeds
nuts or nut butter (I prefer the butter)
berries (pro-tip: frozen berries are elite because when they melt into the yogurt and make the entire bowl taste like berries versus every other bite, I LOVE Wymans because they are wild so more antioxidants and flavor!)
method//
mix 1 scoop protein powder with yogurt (if yogurt is very thick I will add a little (1-2 tablespoons) water to make it easier to mix. Having a tasty protein powder can be a game changer, otherwise the yogurt can taste very sour. Top with the rest of the ingredients, stir and enjoy! Store refrigerated over night for the perfect break time snack.
Protein Powders I love:
Ancient Nutrition - I personally love the chocolate bone broth collagen but if you have a taste aversion for stevia they have other flavors without it.
Promix - one of the cleanest brands I’ve seen on the market, may need to add a little honey to the bowl if it isn’t sweet enough
